Aoshima A004274 1/24 Toyota Chaser HT 2000 SGS

"Gra-chan" ("Grand champion") is a very cool series of custom car models reminiscent of the hopped-up cars of the '80s.

This entry is a customized 1978 Toyota 41 Chaser gussied up with a chin spoiler, rear under-spoiler, rear deck spoiler, funky side mirrors, and crazy-deep 14-inch chrome Shadow wheels and "hippari" (stretched) wide tires. The car body is molded in purple, with the chassis and interior molded in black. The decal sheet includes a swatch of dark blue from which you can cut your own stripes.
